column alias and group by/having/order - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi
I found some strange column alias behaviour:

select val1+val2 as val
from some_table
group by val;

result - OK

select val1+val2 as val
from some_table
order by val;

result - OK

select val1+val2 as val
from some_table
group by val having val1+val2>1;

result - OK

select val1+val2 as val
from some_table
group by val having val>1;
ERROR:  Attribute "val" not found

Is it a bug or a feature?

Regards,
Tomasz Myrta
